Dear The Girl Who Was My Other Half,

I have being trying to write this for who knows how long. I honestly do not know how to even write this but I think it is time I did. Seeing you with a new best friend is not the easiest but it was my reality that everything truly did change. I thought we'd be best friends forever; that you'd be my maid of honor and the god mother to my children; that we'd be by each other's side through everything in life.

I made a decision that really was not my place but at the time I thought was the right choice. I jeopardized our seven year friendship. If I could take that back I would but unfortunately we cannot change the past. I would not take back any day of those seven years. You were my other half; you were the sister I never had. You helped me become the person I am today. You knew my entire past, you knew all my secrets. I went to you for everything whether it be about boys, a girl in our school, or some juicy gossip that I knew I had to tell my best friend. We together went through so much. We went through hell and back but always had each other back. We shared so many laughs, tears, and smiles. I just never thought it would come to an end so soon.

At a point I thought I would be able to restore that bond we had. Life changes and people go. New memories are created, and all that you once had with someone else you now have with someone new. No matter what has happened in the past, I could never dislike you or hate you. I will always love you and no matter what you will hold a place in my heart. Giving up seven years of memories would be insane. Those memories will always stay with me throughout life.

I occasionally find myself thinking about the things we did, or the holidays we spent together. Still to this day when something exciting or important occurs in my life I want to text you or call you but I talk myself out of it. I cannot sit here and say that it does not hurt not having my best friend and that I do not miss you because that would be a big lie. We still sometimes talk but I know I've been replaced and that's okay. I could never blame you for that. You have every right to move on.

I will hold every laugh and memory we had. I will still have our photos hanging on my bedroom wall. We may not be each other's maid of honors or see each other's kids grow up but my kids will still know who you were. When they make best friends I will tell them about all the things we did as teenagers and hope that find someone like you.

So here I am at the end of this letter. To the girl who use to be my best friend. Just know you will never be forgotten nor will I ever have hatred feelings towards you. I wish you the absolutely best today, tomorrow, and every day. I cannot wait to see how far you go in life in the future. You will always have a friend in me. If there ever comes a time that you need someone I will still always be there. It was a privilege to once call you my best friend.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Use To Be Your Best Friend
